I've been in some dark places recently man. Anxiety, and depression coming out of the Army. Thank you for this, I really need this. Edit: Thank you for all the support guys. This is what I miss the most about the military. Thank you
@@ShawnRyanShow I think every veteran goes through something similar and some never speak about it. That's why we need stuff like this to help get through times in our life, especially when it comes to stuff like this.
Skylar Greene yo man I never served or know what it’s like but I know depression and anxiety one thing I’ve learned recently was the wim hof method, look it up and give it a try. First time in years I’m feeling so much better! Good luck to you and wish the best!
Skylar Greene he’s known as ice man, the breathing technique alone has been helping me so much. Dude has learned so many things about the brain because his was wife was suffering depression an anxiety an committed suicide. Check it out it’s nothing to lose
After 3 failed suicide attempts due to my battle with drink and drugs, I keep thinking “what’s the fucking point anymore?” Then I started watching Sean’s videos. Thank you Sean, you don’t know it but it’s keeping me steady right now when I needed it most. 🙏 Edit: Thank you for all your responses to my post. Thought I’d give a quick update, I’m 2 weeks clean from drink and drugs and from tomorrow I’m going into a facility in London for a 28 day rehab programme. It’s going to be long, tough road ahead but I’m finally ready to face my demons head on and once again get back to that happy young geezer I once was. Thanks again to Sean and all the Vigilance Elite community! 🙏 EDIT: 14 months clean and sober! Thank you Shawn and the vigilance community! ❤️🙏
Sorry man, I've thought about it myself but I'm starting to realize that my brightest days are after my darkest and facing my problems and working harder makes my baseline for my life slightly better and slightly higher.
Dingz904 don’t be that weak brother our mind can lead us to some fucked up places. I know about being down and out and I promise you this if u make that mistake on taking your life you will never be able to make a difference in someone else’s life. That’s the whole point of life I think is paying it forward so All I’m asking is to look at life that way and you will make a difference brother. I don’t normally comment on these kinda things but something told me to. Hopefully this message finds you
The hardest part is to keep going when you have no idea what's in front of you, or if there's even anything there. But there always is and we have to push through the uncertainty to find it. Hope you're well man.. you can do it. I'd wager you're way way stronger than you may give yourself credit for.
Oh, oh, I just LOVE you to pieces! 53 year old woman with emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and only 17% kidney function- ALL AT THE START OF THE CORONAVIRUS CRAP!!!! Talk about not having motivation? Sheesh... But then I heard this. And it was absolutely amazing. I felt like I got picked up out of the dirt, shaken off, and put back up on my feet. Thank you so very, very much, both for your inspiration AND your service, Dear Friend. I hope you get back 1,000× the amount of blessings you've given...
Waking up every morning with a purpose, having some alone time to reflect, spending time with my family, helping others, and watching you is all the motivation someone needs! Hooyaah!!! VE4L!!!
You will do it, Kade. One hour at a time, one day at a time. NOBODY gets more than one day at a time! One thing that is constant, is change. Things change from day to day. Do all that you can do, today. Start over tomorrow. Look forward to it; ya never know what it might bring. Good or bad, everyday is a gift. 👍
Head up brother, anything I can do for you here in Aus please let me! Your not alone, although it seems likes absolutely no one in the world can understand....We wont, but we can help you understand our POV on wanting you to live life with us! From Australia brother much love, walk tall!
Every time I watch this guys videos it’s blunt honesty that keeps me coming back and watching. Can’t stand the people who pretend they are always going a 1000% everyday. Also been waiting for them flannels to comeback.
I spent almost a decade in the infantry. I have started two successful companies and when it comes to motivation you are the first person that has kept the facts squared away. Everyone does try to tell you that you need to find a way to stay motivated 24/7/365. That shit is just impossible. Using you motivation as momentum and riding it like a wave is something I haven’t heard and that I will now pass to my employees.
I think the reason I respect men like this is because they did things with their lives that I failed to or never even tried to but they don't sit there like Sean said in the video and act like they piss excellence and wake up every morning motivated and ready to go they talk about their vulnerabilities they talk about their shortcomings they talk about the adversity that they dealt with in their lives and it makes you feel like maybe you're not as f*****-up as you thought you were
Many years ago while dealing in Vegas at TI I got to deal to a Buds graduate. I know that because he told me so, after I called him out . He smiled that I knew, and we chatted for a few. He went to his room and returned with his challenge coin, and gave it to me. At the time I didn’t know what it meant. After I learned however and to this day I keep it and it’s meaning close to me. I admire the SEALS. I am not one, however when I hold that coin in my hand I and close my eyes, I focus on what I want, what I must do to achieve that, how I succeed to get to that, mentally. I know I have not been pushed physically nor mentally to that point of failure. Yet I grin at the thought of anything that wants to take that away. Seeing the SEALS do that, although I’m now old,, still makes me lick my lips,, c’mon make me fail,,,,,FUQ
Sean, the way you keep it real and not take being tacticool too serious is very refreshing. I've enjoyed watching you for a while and since you've kinda opened up about personal issues you have become one of my favorite channels. Keep killin' it man!
I truly and deeply appreciate all of the sacrifices that our veterans make and have made for our lives and our country. My 4 beautiful children and awesome wife appreciate it as well. I could not serve our country for medical reasons and I admire those of you who could. Much love, keep charging.
Never underestimate the value of a good partner, 44 years ago I took a fork in the road and found someone to share a dream with, saved my life. We're still here, still dreaming. Thanks again for the encouragement, we all need it.
Head up brother, anything I can do for you here in Aus please let me! Your not alone, although it seems likes absolutely no one in the world can understand....We wont, but we can help you understand our POV on wanting you to live life with us! From Australia brother much love, walk tall!
I'm moving 5 hours away for a job while my family stays home for a while. Whenever I'm not motivated about it, I think of how much better everyone will be if I stick with it for them. Gets me right back to peak motivation! And yeah, I'm getting that flannel, too!
It’s always straight hitting no bullshit with you. For anyone that struggles or has to search for motivation, I feel this is best delivery of info! Not overblown, just real shit that’s always on time!
This video should be compulsory viewing for every human. Thank you for consistently encouraging people to be better. Between your "don't take the opportunity to be a dick" video, the anxiety and mental health videos and this one you have started a change in my life. Don't stop being a total fucking badass dude, you're an inspiration.
Honest speaks volumes, Ryan. This is critical to me and is why I, and so many other people, support you. This is one of the finest moments I have ever seen on social media, and with no comedy, it means even more it's from the heart and I love the comedy. Thank you, brother!
Thanks for being a real guy. Had a rough time transitioning from the Corps, and recently diagnosed with a nerve disease that keeps me in a lot of pain. Needed to hear your words. Thank you.
I want the hat you wore in this video please sir - I am binge watching everything I can of yours right now - I’m addicted to the honesty and humbleness you show each and every episode of everything you do - thank you
I’ve recently overcome paralysis and have spent a lot of time searching for inspiration. Your show inspires me and helps light the fire I need just to stay motivated.
Shawn "shitcan your ego" Ryan nails it again. 1:20 - 2:03 describes me perfectly. Today, I had a problem being motivated and remembered this video. I have lost a fight or two in my time, but no one has ever kicked my ass as I do mentally. How I motivate myself when I am unmotived is, I start calling myself worthless, a loser, you're letting everyone down, stop being a p****y, etc.... It works 99.99% of the time. You're 100% correct about people thinking that you're always motivated because you were a SEAL and served in the military. I get that sometimes too because I served in the Army that I am always good to go, ready at all times, willing to jump in and take charge, but the truth is, some days I don't want to do anything at all. We're people too, the only difference is that we had a different job out of high school, the military, instead of going to college. I don't have a single regret either because, after the Army, I went to college. I was more mature andI took it more seriously than I did the first time. I went to college after graduating from high school and wasted my time and grandparent's money. It is my opinion that every able-bodied American should have to enlist in the military as Israel does.
This past year I have worked my tail off.. Lost my whole summer and a majority of time with my family... I was feeling sorry for myself because of the lack of time I had and the fatigue that comes along with it .. I was happy to make all this money but was recently unemployed . The motivation and crazy amount of work that was done got me through this period of unemployment ... and opened up major time for my son and I to create memories.. Now I am back to work and in full swing again... Thank you for this video...
Thank you very much. I needed to hear this. I was caregiver for my mother for over ten years. She past away three years ago this December. She was my purpose. After she died, I lost all motivation. Then, I kind of got some back, but it's still hard. Thank you for what you said. This really helped.
Yessir!! You are correct, I always tell my people "I've got my good days and bad days just like everyone else." But I try and not et them see the bad days. My motivation comes from my love for my country and family. That's why we do what we do and why we've done what we've done! Stay awesome brother, keep up this awesome channel!
Love how you kept it real! No man and i mean absolutely no man is invincible when it comes to life's problems and circumstances. Sometimes you just have to dig deep and do the best you can with what you got. Falling down is not failing. Feeling down is not failing. You only fail if you quit trying. Love the vid sir
First off thank you for service Sean Ryan.I haven't seen war first hand, but I work in a busy Trauma centre I see bad things all the time! Sean you nailed it! Anyone anywhere can fall into darkness, its a true test of strength getting out! And when you get out remember your'e the man brother and sister! Like you said one foot forward! Thanks agian for sharring!
I was infantry in the army and man do I feel shitty some days. From going on deployments spending 24/7 with my brothers and now that I’m out I don’t have those kind of friends around me. I needed this today! Keep making content! Always looking forward to the next video!
I started watching your channel a while ago for the knowledge that you are willing to share, and I just want to say it has done more for my mental well being than anything or any prior therapist has. Thank you.
That is the best advice on motivation that I've seen TH-cam! I tried to tell people all the time to stop relying on motivation to get them going and just do it needs to be done. Good shit!
REALLY NEEDED TO HER THIS, of all days TODAY WAS THAT PERFECT DAY TO HEAR it because I just came out of a bad Rutt & STARTED TODAY GOOD & NEEDED THAT TALK TO STAY ON NORTH! ICING ON THE CAKE BRO! THANK YOU!!! THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!!!
I love watching your videos man. First off thank you for your service, but thank you for always being honest with us and giving us something worth watching.
You are awesome man. Finally someone is saying how life really is, without bs. Im the most motivated guy in the world but sometimes you just dont feel it. But like you said you plow thru regardless. Thanks for using this platform to speak the truth. Peace out.
Overcoming alcohol was the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. Every day sober is another battle won; however, the was is never truly won. Stay strong guys! Stick to your guns in any situation and always know right from wrong. Thanks for the motivation bro, you rock! #stayvigilant 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Well stated Sean. The old added verbiage ‘false motivation is better than no motivation’ is difficult to do when we get older. Wear and tear from training & deployments catch up. I have to now set realistic goals in the gym and on the range. Thanks for sharing.
I’m 17yr Army vet, studying Engineering and I bombed a math test. Was beating myself up. Wanting to quit. Tired of the shit. I needed to hear this. Thanks brother.
I really respect you showing the true side of yourself, and know you overcome your struggles. I’m not a Navy seal, but I am a devil dog and lost all motivation when I got out, felt like I had no purpose, went from hero to zero. Like I have said in previous videos of yours I have since got over that with good therapy. I enjoy all the videos and really the uncut raw ones of yourself. And btw, love the Harley engine in the background 👍🏻
Brother, so amazing. God’s mercies are new EVERY morning!! Thank you for this. I’ve run into many ruts with my 11 kids, an abusive first wife, And difficult job at a nursing home. Thank you, in Jesus Name be blessed
It's all about self-discipline. Getting up and doing the shit that needs to be done even when you have absolutely no drive. The reward you get is a feeling of accomplishmen. The satisfaction of a job well done. A weight is lifted as you check one more thing off the endless "to do list." This in return produces motivation (well sometimes). Nothing that's worth having comes easy.
You're still a seal, never was... All the shit you're doing is worth the effort, hitting everything one rung at a time is the way to go... I'm glad you're not a quitter and can motivate others to do the same. Keep your presence and and your head up, it's working towards that goal on your off days that matter the most.
Love the honesty man. That’s the problem we all face sometimes is living a fantasy world. Sometimes reality sucks! Life is not always good but it doesn’t mean it’s the end! Let’s pick it up and get motivated!! Suck it up and pay the man! Yes sir!
Don’t. Ever. Stop. What. You. Do. This shit helps me more than you know. Depression and anxiety seem like the norm when we get out. This shit fucking helps. Semper Fi.
All the shit you are doing absolutely matters. Thanks for putting yourself out there. I appreciate your insight and perspective. Wial these are strange days we live in, there are still many Americans who share you ideology and moral compass.
A freaking men brother I love your Chanel I have learned so much about myself from listening to you and gut checked myself the main thing I’ve realized is I’m not alone with the shit I’ve gone through thank you my brother you are the man 18delta out!!!
Good stuff man! Been a small business owner for 3 years now. Felt like quitting so many times. Asked myself countless times if it was worth it. Makes it feel so good when you have some success.
Shawn that was what I needed today. It’s you saying things just like they are and not sugar coating it that make you so damn awesome. I’m in a situation where I’m really trying to get my motivation back after dealing with some real shit sandwiches. That really helped man. Thanks for what you do.
These videos have been helping me and others out more than anyone knows. Especially the anxiety video. Keep up the great work and never get down on yourself. Hooah!
There is something about hearing Sean saying I MAY get to the unicorn, or at least a flannel, but seriously; " I bitch. I'm not always motivated" I don't need to recite it; You heard it. That hit me like a sledgehammer coming out of his mouth! A man with integrity & a moral compass I SAF would & do trust.(& If I lived; Id bet the memories would be priceless!) Love the honesty! IMMENSE RESPECT for Sean & all who have served our Armed Forces! Past, present & future! T.Y. for ALL you do!!!
Thank you Brother for an inspirational speech the difference between you and all the rest you speak from the heart and show us your human side there are a lot of vets who need this kind of speech in their lives and I am one of them thank you and God bless
Hell yea... it also helps to take the first 5-10 minutes of every day meditating/reflecting on what you're gonna do that day, but more importantly.... *WHY* you want to be doing these things. Focus on the reasons you began your journeys. Focus on the why... and give yourself credit for the progress you've already made. Visualize that finish line and remind yourself WHY you aren't gonna give up today.
Winners never quit and quitters never win. Thank God at the beginning of every day and thank God at the end of every day. We only get one chance. Make the most of it.🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸
I've been in some dark places recently man. Anxiety, and depression coming out of the Army. Thank you for this, I really need this.
Edit: Thank you for all the support guys. This is what I miss the most about the military. Thank you
It's my pleasure, I'm sorry you're having to go through that.
@@ShawnRyanShow I think every veteran goes through something similar and some never speak about it. That's why we need stuff like this to help get through times in our life, especially when it comes to stuff like this.
Skylar Greene yo man I never served or know what it’s like but I know depression and anxiety one thing I’ve learned recently was the wim hof method, look it up and give it a try. First time in years I’m feeling so much better! Good luck to you and wish the best!
@@bigbawsz2054 I appreciate it man. I'll look into.

Oh, oh, I just LOVE you to pieces!
53 year old woman with emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and only 17% kidney function-
ALL AT THE START OF THE CORONAVIRUS CRAP!!!!
Talk about not having motivation?
Sheesh...
But then I heard this. And it was absolutely amazing. I felt like I got picked up out of the dirt, shaken off, and put back up on my feet.
Thank you so very, very much, both for your inspiration AND your service, Dear Friend. I hope you get back 1,000× the amount of blessings you've given...
When you don't feel like doing something, remember that feelings are stupid, and just go ahead and do it.
Thanks, Sean.

ythagakure that’s awesome bro.
Needed this today. Young man trying get through college.
You will do it, Kade. One hour at a time, one day at a time. NOBODY gets more than one day at a time!
One thing that is constant, is change. Things change from day to day. Do all that you can do, today. Start over tomorrow. Look forward to it; ya never know what it might bring. Good or bad, everyday is a gift.

Word brother! Grind hard!
Trying is the first step. Now do and do it well! 🤪
Good luck bud 👊🏽

Quite often, you may find an untapped creative side to yourself during the bouts of darkness. Draw from that well. It may surprise you.

This is one of the most motivating speeches I’ve ever heard
That's awesome to hear! Thank you
It started with Jocko willink then David Goggins and now Sean Ryan why is like what 80% of I watch on TH-cam former Navy Seals
That's awesome to hear man.
Man i was just thinking the same thing, hearing these guys talk is awesome
Don't forget Rut.
Yeah I was sad they stop doing the team never quit podcast at least I think they stopped it
I think the reason I respect men like this is because they did things with their lives that I failed to or never even tried to but they don't sit there like Sean said in the video and act like they piss excellence and wake up every morning motivated and ready to go they talk about their vulnerabilities they talk about their shortcomings they talk about the adversity that they dealt with in their lives and it makes you feel like maybe you're not as f*****-up as you thought you were

That is the best advice on motivation that I've seen TH-cam! I tried to tell people all the time to stop relying on motivation to get them going and just do it needs to be done. Good shit!
Dude, absolutely fucking amazing video in every way. Production, presentation, and motivation
Your transparency reminds me that we are all human! Thank you!
I'm 56 ,brother that's 100% Truth ,its a continuous battle,ecspecially the older you get,,,but NEVER give up
REALLY NEEDED TO HER THIS, of all days TODAY WAS THAT PERFECT DAY TO HEAR it because I just came out of a bad Rutt & STARTED TODAY GOOD & NEEDED THAT TALK TO STAY ON NORTH!
ICING ON THE CAKE BRO! THANK YOU!!!
THANKS AGAIN FOR EVERYTHING!!!
Watched Momma Lee talk. You both are motivation to me! It's hard, but I'm trying as I'm getting older. Soon to be 62. God bless you.
Dude makes a super motivating video about not being motivated....love it.
I love watching your videos man. First off thank you for your service, but thank you for always being honest with us and giving us something worth watching.
Marc Troup_Mr. Underrated I’ll keep doing it. Thanks for watching.
Keeping it real. Real life gets you down. "I get knocked down and I get up again your never going to keep me down" life!
I'm in a rut... I've lost motivation and I am a mess in all aspects of my life.. I thank you for the humanity you bring to back to us..
New observer, likes that you keep it real & tell it like it is. Thank you, your thoughts will help others, sets & civilians. Semper Fi!
Thank you
You are awesome man. Finally someone is saying how life really is, without bs. Im the most motivated guy in the world but sometimes you just dont feel it. But like you said you plow thru regardless. Thanks for using this platform to speak the truth. Peace out.
Overcoming alcohol was the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life. Every day sober is another battle won; however, the was is never truly won. Stay strong guys! Stick to your guns in any situation and always know right from wrong. Thanks for the motivation bro, you rock! #stayvigilant 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks again man,you ARE helping people with these types of videos I promise you!
matthew davis I hope so.
I like your videos Sean. You are brutally honest! You have seen shit most of us will never see. Thank You for your service!
Well said bud! I couldn't agree more! Sometimes some of us need to hit rock bottom in order to get that motivation to be where we want to be.
Damn if you aren't right. Hearing this from someone who has been there and isn't a bullshit artist means a lot . Thank you.
This is the most real dude.
Authentic. I needed this today. Thanks Sean Ryan.
It’s convictions. That’s why we get up. Great job SP.
A great delivery on a deep subject! As for me I go to bed with a prayer on my tongue and get up the next morning the same way.
Well stated Sean. The old added verbiage ‘false motivation is better than no motivation’ is difficult to do when we get older. Wear and tear from training & deployments catch up. I have to now set realistic goals in the gym and on the range. Thanks for sharing.
I’m 17yr Army vet, studying Engineering and I bombed a math test. Was beating myself up. Wanting to quit. Tired of the shit. I needed to hear this. Thanks brother.
Keep pushing even when everything sucks,and the next day still sucks
BTW - shitting rainbows is not easy, but once you do it’ll light up your bowl👍
I really respect you showing the true side of yourself, and know you overcome your struggles. I’m not a Navy seal, but I am a devil dog and lost all motivation when I got out, felt like I had no purpose, went from hero to zero. Like I have said in previous videos of yours I have since got over that with good therapy. I enjoy all the videos and really the uncut raw ones of yourself.
And btw, love the Harley engine in the background 👍🏻
Shawn Ryan keeping it real. I love how our modern social media allows us to hear men like him speak and give their perspective.
Brother, so amazing. God’s mercies are new EVERY morning!!
Thank you for this. I’ve run into many ruts with my 11 kids, an abusive first wife, And difficult job at a nursing home.
Thank you, in Jesus Name be blessed
It's all about self-discipline. Getting up and doing the shit that needs to be done even when you have absolutely no drive. The reward you get is a feeling of accomplishmen. The satisfaction of a job well done. A weight is lifted as you check one more thing off the endless "to do list." This in return produces motivation (well sometimes). Nothing that's worth having comes easy.
You're still a seal, never was... All the shit you're doing is worth the effort, hitting everything one rung at a time is the way to go... I'm glad you're not a quitter and can motivate others to do the same. Keep your presence and and your head up, it's working towards that goal on your off days that matter the most.
Thank you for being so honest and real. Truly remarkable, respectable, and highly admired.
You're a good man Shawn . Your words are golden. Much respect. I appreciate what you do on here.
Love the honesty man. That’s the problem we all face sometimes is living a fantasy world. Sometimes reality sucks! Life is not always good but it doesn’t mean it’s the end! Let’s pick it up and get motivated!! Suck it up and pay the man! Yes sir!
Don’t. Ever. Stop. What. You. Do.
This shit helps me more than you know. Depression and anxiety seem like the norm when we get out. This shit fucking helps. Semper Fi.
I’m not a navy seal but this really hit home for me. Thank you for your service and the inspiration. It’s guys like you that I look up to...
All the shit you are doing absolutely matters. Thanks for putting yourself out there. I appreciate your insight and perspective. Wial these are strange days we live in, there are still many Americans who share you ideology and moral compass.
As always Shawn, thank you. Thanks for being transparent and susceptible.
Shawn you give me hope every time I listen to you. God Bless.
A freaking men brother I love your Chanel I have learned so much about myself from listening to you and gut checked myself the main thing I’ve realized is I’m not alone with the shit I’ve gone through thank you my brother you are the man 18delta out!!!
I absolutely love your no b.s. approach to life ,and training it's really refreshing!!!!!!!!!
Good stuff man! Been a small business owner for 3 years now. Felt like quitting so many times. Asked myself countless times if it was worth it. Makes it feel so good when you have some success.
Shawn that was what I needed today. It’s you saying things just like they are and not sugar coating it that make you so damn awesome. I’m in a situation where I’m really trying to get my motivation back after dealing with some real shit sandwiches. That really helped man. Thanks for what you do.
great video Shawn. you're as authentic as it gets man. keep up the good work, needed this one today.
These videos have been helping me and others out more than anyone knows. Especially the anxiety video. Keep up the great work and never get down on yourself. Hooah!
There is something about hearing Sean saying I MAY get to the unicorn, or at least a flannel, but seriously; " I bitch. I'm not always motivated" I don't need to recite it; You heard it. That hit me like a sledgehammer coming out of his mouth! A man with integrity & a moral compass I SAF would & do trust.(& If I lived; Id bet the memories would be priceless!) Love the honesty! IMMENSE RESPECT for Sean & all who have served our Armed Forces! Past, present & future! T.Y. for ALL you do!!!
Thank you Shawn, just sent that to all the kids (all grown now). We also have done our time in FL and headed back home to TN. Ken
man, you guys bring me to years, God bless you all! I'll be praying for you!
You know everyone asks me that question and you just perfectly put into words how I feel. I’m going to share the shit out of this video.
bailey andrusk I really appreciate it.
Was about to watch a movie but I'll go listen to a podcast while running instead. Thanks Sean!
"Comes in waves" very true sir
Ive said it before, and I will say it again. Shaun, you are the man. Its very clear that you took a dive off the ego cliff
And on the day that I shit a rainbow, I will immediately thank Vigilance Elite for making it all possible.
Thanks i needed this! It's nice be reminded from a real hero that we all fall to get up!
Thank you Brother for an inspirational speech the difference between you and all the rest you speak from the heart and show us your human side there are a lot of vets who need this kind of speech in their lives and I am one of them thank you and God bless
Hell yea... it also helps to take the first 5-10 minutes of every day meditating/reflecting on what you're gonna do that day, but more importantly.... *WHY* you want to be doing these things. Focus on the reasons you began your journeys. Focus on the why... and give yourself credit for the progress you've already made. Visualize that finish line and remind yourself WHY you aren't gonna give up today.
I'm pretty depressed all the time...Especially nowadays. Thank you for the video man, I needed to hear this today! 😭
Winners never quit and quitters never win. Thank God at the beginning of every day and thank God at the end of every day. We only get one chance. Make the most of it.🇺🇸🙏🏼🇺🇸
